Vocation View
Jesus emptied himself and took the form
of a slave. Am I willing to empty myself to
follow the Lord? Consider a call to priest-
hood or religious life. (Philippians 2:1-11)
Sound Monitors With the new sound system completed, I’m looking for several
people who can serve as Sound Monitors for the 5 weekend
masses. These people monitor and adjust the volume levels
on each channel to maintain the optimum sound levels for spoken
voice and music voice and instruments. The person should have a
basic command of digital technology, and a ‘good ear’ to maintain
a great sound environment and keep music groups balanced. Ideally,
would like teams of 3 per mass that could rotate, and cover for each
other on an ‘as needed’ basis. Call Denise Brooks at the office for
more information.
NEW! A permanent St. Francis Children’s Choir forming now! We are excited

tor, lead our new Children’s Choir! This choir will meet
weekly throughout the school year, and sing occasional Sunday
masses, special celebrations, and the Christmas Concert. The choir is
open to grades 3 through 6. Rehearsals will be weekly on Mondays,
from 4:15-5:15pm. For more information, contact Denise Brooks
[email protected], or Mrs. Anderson-Jones [email protected]

History of Our Lady of Guadalupe Missionaries who first came to Mexico
with the conquistadors had little success
in the beginning. After nearly a genera-
tion, only a few hundred Native Mexicans
had converted to the Christian faith.
Whether they simply did not understand
what the missionaries had to offer or
whether they resented these people who
made them slaves, Christianity was not
popular among the native people. Then in 1531 miracles began to happen. Jesus' own mother appeared to humble Juan Diego. The signs -- of the roses, of the uncle’s miraculously cure from a deadly illness, and especially of her beau-tiful image on Juan's mantle -- convinced the people there was something to be con-sidered in Christianity. Within a short time six million Native Mexicans had themselves baptized as Christians. Please go online and read more about the great apparition and miraculous Tilma of Juan Diego.

Family Rosary—The month of October has been dedi-cated as the month of The Holy Rosary since 1571. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is October 7th. During this month of October, when we honor Mary and turn to her in
a special way for guidance and protection, let us especially remember the power of the Rosary. Honor her by joining us before Mass on the Blessed Mother’s side of the Church for the Family Rosary. We will ask Mary for her special intercession and protection for St. Francis Marriages and Families during her month.

Please join us on the Blessed Mother’s side of the Church: Saturday at 4:30 PM; Sunday at 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM
